THE NEW MINE
McGillivray Creek Coal & Coke Co. Will Erect Large Plant Near Coleman--Good Coal
On Monday evening last a MINER representative visited the McGillivray Creek Coal & Coke Company's property and was agreeably surprised with what he saw there.
This company which was or- ganized at Spokane, in Decem- ber last, with a capitalization of $3,000,000, and owns extensive coal areas at Coleman, where coal excellent for steam and coking purposes is in enor- mous quantities, estimated at some sixty to seventy-five mil- lion tons above the water level.
James R. Maclean, the mine foreman, kindly had us over that part of the property which is being developed and which is producing many tons of high- grade coal daily.
A track which is about four hundred feet long and which runs in a southerly direc- tion from the mine entrance has been laid, and at the south end of this track may be seen hundreds of tons of as good a coal as can be found anywhere in thie rich mineral province.
The Company has now thirty men working on the property about half a mile back of Cole- man. The number will increase as the weeks go by, so that by the end of August next the
company should have one hundred and fifty men em}
rays company is now working on No. 2 seam which averages twelve feet in thickness and is four miles in
length. The miners are driving a slope and have already gone in a dis- tance of one hundred feet, The coal mined so far, is absolutely clean and free of any rock.
The company will have a plant equal to any found in any of the great coul mining centers of the world. A steel tipple has already been ordered and all contracts for machinery will be closed this week. The construction of sidings, haulage road, power house, machine shop, fan and others will be started within three weeks. The tipple will be erected immediately west of Slav Town,
J. F. Povah, the general manager of this company, feels confident that by the last of October next his company will be shipping between 300 and 400 tons of coal daily, and in twelve months hence his company will be shipping 1,000 tons daily.
The good that the opeffing up of this vast coal area will do Coleman cannot be imagined, and as unknown success has attended the opening up of the International Coal & Coke Com- pany’s property in this town so do we hope that immeasureable success will attend the McGillivray Creek Coal & Coke Co., Limited.

Constable Bayonetted a Bull, Owner | Assaulted Constable.
Details are published in the Indian ress of a serious riot at Kotappa- | onda, near Guntur. An important | Hindu festival, the Sivaratri, was at- | tended by many thousands of pilgrims and a police force of 160 of all ranks was detailed, ag usual, to keep order. The riot, according to the police ver- | sion, originated in a constable bayo- netting a bull which had kicked him. The owner of the bull assaulted the constable and was arrested. Accord ing to a pilgrim who witnessed the rioting, the man was leading his bull to Water, and, the animal being some- what frisky, the constable forbade him to lead it among the crowd, aod
18 latter is said to have retaliated by as-
| saulting the constable with a lathi.
A mob of 56,000 soon assembled, at- the temporary police-station, | and pelted the police with stones, The inspector ordered the police to fire, and, according to one account, two rioters were killed and a number wounded. Another report, however, says that the police fired away” all their cartridges in the air. The con- stables were scattered by the mob, | one peon was killed, and the tempor- | ary police station was burnt. fhe district superintendent of police, on | receiving a message from the sub- | inspector, rode to the scene, and it is reported that he found no .police- men there. He was surrounded by | the mob, who pelted him with stones and burnt down the house in which He received four deep wounds on the head and several | contused wounds on the body. Be- | sides the two inspectors, three sub- inspectors and eight constables were | seriously injured, and six constables are reported to be missing. The re- serve police arrived next morning and restored order.

Mr. Sant and His Models. It is now nearly thirty years ago’ since the doyen of the Royal Aca- demy. Mr. James Sant, who cele-! brated his eighty-ninth birthday the other day, painted that famous pic- ture, “The Soul’s Awakening.” It) was a sudden inspiration during the | visit of one of the painter’s -young | nieces to London. Mr, Sant caught her in his studio one afternoon rapt in thought over a book she had just | been reading, and “The Soul’s Awak- | ening” was the result. For “Peaches,” | another of Mr. Sant’s well-known pictures, the artist’s daughter Hilda was the model at the age of two, the radiant cheeks of the child actually suggesting comparison with the beau- tiful fruit she happened to be carry- ing in her hand.

FROM MARJORIE
By Nellie Cravey Gillmore.
| Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press, |
Farrington turned from the bookcase with a little gesture of annoyance, His Shakespeare, of all volumes! How stupid of Thomas to have let out his | books without his knowledge or con- sent! Only last week he had missed his favorite, much marked copy of Rochefoucault. Presley had nabbed that.
But this was a little too much. Es- pecially in view of the fact that “Ham: | let” was playing that night and there were a couple of passages he felt he must run over.
He crossed the room impatientiy Be Fer when hd

“It seems still more of my books are missing, Thomas, I am afraid you have been careless. I can't locate that red calf edition of Shakespeare any- where.”
“You left orders, sir—begging your pardon—to accommodate any of the young gentlemen”—
“When I rushed off to Europe. eh?” A whimsical smile made its transient passage across Farrington's scowling | face. “Very well. 1 presume you are right. I was a bit upset, I remember. You may go.”
But as the man started toward the door he called him back.
“By the way, are there any book- stores hereabout?”
“No first class ones, sir.”
“Any—er—first class neighbors?”
“A few, sir.”

Farrington took the volume eagerly, turning the yellowed leaves with deft fingers till be should come to “Ham- let.” But suddenly he paused, his eyes narrowed curiously and his heart gave a startled jump. A brief extract from “The Merry Wives of Windsor” “Ask me no rea- son why I love you, for, though love use reason for its precision, he admits him not for his counselor.”
The passage was heavily under- scored, and below it were scribbled in corroboration the initials “M. H.”— “W. F.” They were bers—and his!
Marjorie Hayward! The name sent his thoughts tumbling tumultuously back over the past, sent the blood tin- gling even to his eyelids. How many years—nearty ten!—since he had called that name. Yet how many days, in- deed, had it been absent from his heart?
The minutes flew by as he sat there wrapped in meditation, At last he be- gan again to slip the leaves absently through his fingers, when abruptly they came in contact with something alien,
He glanced closer, almost indifferent- ly, and started again as his gaze resat- ed stupidly upon an envelope stuck to one of the pages and addressed in full to himself—addressed in Marjorie Hayward's clear, resolute characters half a score of years ago, when they had both lived in the same little west- ern town.

Perhaps she was married. Or was stie dead, and had fate chosen this ironical opportunity to thrust an added misery into his bitter memories?
Farrington was not a man to hem and haw. He thought quickly, and he

But he was destined to disappoint. ment. Miss Hayward had gone to/| “Hamlet.” Farrington hurried down the avente that led to the playhouse. | Luckily, his ticket was to be called for | at the box office. It was a good sent | and commanded a sweeping view of
| the audience.
After the first act their eyes met~ | locked—across the sea of faces in the orchestra. The girl paled, flushed and paled again, Then her eyes fell | away from the deep, ardent gaze riv- eted upon her.
After the play Farrington stationed himself at the door, but Marjorie left by a box entrance, and he went — with a sinking heart to a dream baunt- ed pillow.
The rain wa
ed sky was blushing pened his shutters at 6 the next morning. The flowers’ made a rainbow of color in the garden be- low, and the air was vocal with the) matutinal chirping of birds.
Suddenly the ‘door of the house across the way swung open, and a young woman in a trim brown travel- | ing dress, suit case in hand, emerged | upon the porch.
Farrington caught a desperate breath, The northbound train left in twelve fhinutes, and he was still in his bath- robe and slippers.
After Providence had thus delecta- bly tossed them together again she was running away from him.
Seven minutes later, decidedly {ll groomed, he whizzed up to the plat- form of the G. and G., jumped out
in the runabout.
Miss Hayward was just turning from | the ticket window as he came up, and again their eyes met, hers evasively, | his with the old compelling power she had never known how to resist.
“Marjorie!”
“Walter!” unconstiously.
“I just received your message, dear,” he said, “and thai is why 1 am here.” He displayed to her bewildered gaze the faded writing on the yellowed pa- per.
“Why,” she breathed wonderinglty— “why, I don’t understand. 1 wrote you that letter over nine years ago and”—
“For some reason which is not pres- ently apparent it was never mailed. See, the stamp is uncanceled. 1 found it in the little old Shakespeare we used to read so often together.”
“And which I have never opened since you went away.” she interposed in a little tremulous whisper.
The engine bell rang. With a little exciaMation Marjorie started ivward | the train. Farrington took her suit case from her.
“Where are you going?’ he asked.
“To Pittsburg. And you?”
“Wherever you are—always.”
And they stepped aboard the mov- ing train.

What Is In a Name.
Heinemann. the European publisher, once noticed two peddlers standing side by side, selling toy dolls. One of them had a queer, fat faced doll, which he was pushing into the faces of the pass- ersby. giving it the name of a well known woman reformer then promi-| nently before the public. His dolls were selling rapidly, while the man be- side him, who had a really more at- tractive doll, was doing comparatively little business. A thought occurred to Heinemann, and he tried an experi-| ment. Calling the second peddler to one side, “My friend,” he said, “do you | want to know how to sell twice as many of these dolls as you are selling | now? Hold them up in pairs, two to-| gether in each hand, and cry them as| ‘The Heavenly Twins.’” The toy ven@-| er somewhat grudgingly followed his) advice. It was at a time when Sarah} Grand’s famous novel was at the| height of its popularity, and the title | of the book was on every one’s tongue, | Perbaps it was merely luck, but the) heavenly twins dolls were an instan- | taneous success, and within one hour the vender of the woman reformer | dolls gave up the fight. acknowledged himself beaten and moved five blocks down the street to escape the ruinous | competition.—Lorin F.

EGG POISONING. Persons Always Affected— Others Only Occasionally.
Some
nstances of egg poisoning appeat |
| ‘om time to time in periodical litera- | »
It was almost |
ture, and the subject is referred to in some but by no means all works on dietetics.
While cases of acute poisoning are rare, writes a physician in The Medi- eal Record, some susceptibility as re- — eggs is not 80 very uncommon.
eople constantly assert that eggs make them bilious, and, while in some this is often imaginary, in others the condition actually exists.
This is notably true of infants and young children. Not only do many irfants and young children digest eges with difficulty, especially when first eaten, but many more. are made ill if this particular food is partaken of too freely or, in the case of older children, if the egg diet is kept up to» continuously.
This inability of young children to digest eggs is probably in line with the well recognized fact that the in- fant’s stomach, or digestive juices,
| must be taught to digest most dietary
articles other than the maternal milk.
Cows’ milk, for instance, is a verit- able poison to some infants, while meny a newly-born requires some
practice and education before it can
| thoroughly digest even mother’s milk.
Individual susceptibility as regard- egg: is extremely variable. In some persons eggs always act as poisons,
in others the toxie influence be marked at one time and at arvother much diminished or entirely wanting, especially when the subject is in sound condition.
The susceptibility may be observed
| in eggs of every degree of freshness
and in’ some cases only with eggs of certuin birds. Changes in eggs may be brought about by methods of cook- ing. for, while some persons manifest theic susceptibility only when the egg is raw, others are poisoned when it is ecoked or prepared in some unusual an’ unaccustomed manner.
In most of the reported cases the white of the egg appears to have been the offending element. The symptoms of egg poisoning differ greatly in de gree In some cases only nausea and headache occur. In others the most violent symptoms, suggestive of irri- tant poisoning, are observed.
Sometimes when the use of eggs is |
| long continued they give rise to the}
symptom group which we call bilious- | ness, which, after. all, is but a form | of auto-intoxication, due possibly to} the presence of some alkaloid in the blood. The symptoms of egg poison- | ing are essentially those of so-called | ptomaine poisoning.
It is true that the eggs giving rise) to toxic phenoména are in most in- stances apparently fresh when eaten, but when we recall that the porous shell of the egg will admit the micro) organisms that cause the egg to rot, as well as various strong odor, it is easy to comprehend that an egg may appear fresh and yet contain bacteria that in susceptible persons and in cer- tain conditions of digestion may pro

_It Covers Its Victim With Confusion and Helplessness.
“That woman,” said the library ttendant, pointing to a woman who had just gone into the reading room,
“had a pretty bad case of library |
fright.”
“When?” asked. the old subscriber.
“A few minutes ago, when she ask- ed for a book,” said the librarian. “Did you never hear of the library fright? Many “people have it. It} attacks thern when they go into a strange library just to look around or rest for a few minutes and are in- formed that in ‘order to enjoy the hospitality of the reading room they will have to ask for a book and make | at least a.pretence of reading. The chances are that; no matter how familiar they are with books, they | won't be able to recall the namé of a | single one at. that moment. If the | library happens to be run on the help | yourself principle, which gives pat- | rons access to the shelves, they can pick up some volume at random, but when iged to consult the catalogue, | as they are here, their confusion is | both pitiable and ludicrous.
“T had the library fright twice my? | self. My first attack was in the Con- gressjonal library in Washington. I | wanted to read there for a few min- utes, just for the sake of being able | to say afterward that I had read | there. Used as I was to- handling | books, I couldn’t think of even the | dictionary when it came to making | a choice. After a few minutes of | hopeless floundering ‘Taine’s History of English Literature’ flashed across | my mind. I had no desire on earth | to look at ‘Taine’s History of English Literature’ then or at any other time, but I give you my word I. couldn’t ig of any other book to save my ife.
“Another time, in a library here in town, I was stricken with a similar panic, and after stumbling through the catalogue in a dazed sort of way | I asked for ‘David Copperfield’— ‘Copperfield,’ mind you, that I had read forty-eleven times and knew by heart. It’s a funny ‘thing, this ii- | brary fright. A person who has never experienced it cannot imagine how |
foolish and helpless the sufferer | feels.””
Some Odd Words.
“Topsy turvy’’—when things are in confusion, they are said to be topsy turvy, an expression derived from the | way in which turf for fuel is placed to dry on its being cut. The surface of the ground is pared off with the heath growing upon it, and the heath is turned downward and left some | days in that state that the earth may get dry before it is carfied away. It means, therefore, really “top side turf way. ;
“Coxcomb”. “is a corruption of cock’s comb, which is considered as an unnecessary part and is always cut off from game. birds and only suffered to grow on those of the barn-

We often hear of the African fever, | or jungle fever. But speak of the fev- | er to-the man who has been where it prevails and he will tell you that it | is more feared by the explorer than | the most dangerous animal. There is , a malarial fever that the African mos- | uito will put into you with its bite. + may stay in you six of seven | years, but you ean finally get rid of | it by proper treatment.

9 , 1G HTNING aes Some Facts About This Mysterious
Force of Nature.
gs Sag still more of less a' mystery. @ can imitate it on a small seale in the laboratory, but its | geo manifestations in the sky and ts wonderful vagaries make the wis- We
est savants shake their heads. know, at any rate, that lightning is the electric discharge at high tension between masses oppositely electrified. , Every little particle of moisture in| the air carries a charge, and when the | particles coalesce in a cloud their | electricity collects on the surface un- til the tension becomes enormous. If | two clouds are oppositely electrified | they will bombard each other until | equilibrium is established between them. If the opposition is between thé surcharged cloud and an object on the ground: a terrific bolt passing between the earth and the sky will re- lieve the electric strain without re- gard:to the well being of any creature that stands in the way. |
A lightning flash often darts for miles through the air. It begins with a discharge between two adjacent par .| ticles. The next particle receives the | shock and transmits it to its nearest | neighbor, ana thus it rushes on, zig- | zagging along the line of least resist- | ance until the unbalanced energies are | restored to equality. The way of} lightning is a crooked way when thé path is long, because the distribution | of the electric charges in the clouds | is irregular. The positive seeks the | negative and rushes to its embrace | wherever it finds it. |
The eye is not quick enough to un-| ravel a lightning strike, but photo- graphy can do it to a certain degree, and photographs prove that the path | of the discharge is a waving line. No discharge occurs until the tension has rerched the breaking point—i.e., the |
| point where the resistance of the air |~ | can no longer restrain the force of the |
gathering charge.
What might be called the inner structure of a lightning stroke is a marvel, Prof. Henry proved that every stroke is an alternating current, | the oscillations occupying but a few millionths of a second, while the dura- tion of the flash may be a consider- | able fraction of a second.

HEROES Of THE DEEP
Brave Captains Who Have Per- ished With Their Ships.
—
A STERN RULE OF THE SEA.
“The Captain of the Vessel Shall Be the Last to Leave,” and From Thie Mandate No Captain Is Exempt. Heroism In Face of Certain Death.
“The captain of the vessel shall be the last to leave.”
This heroic sentiment has been ex- emplified time and again by the brave men who go down to the sea in ships, and to their everlasting bonor ‘there fs no attempt or desire to shirk the fearful duty and responsibility. So it was that Captain Sealby of the fll fated Republic refused to leave his ship till every man, woman, child and mem- ber of his crew ‘had been saved,
“The last to leave!”. It is the law, universally asknowledged at sea by officers and men, alike as the basis of seif respect. and bonor. From it no captain is exempt.
One of the bravest of these heroes was Chief Officer Paterson of the British King. One day some winters ago’*he sailed from New York under Captain O'Hagan. Great storms. im- peded the passage of the ship, and so stupendous was the violence of the Waves that they stove in the bow plates, and before the leakage was discovered tons of water rushed into the hold.
Captain O’Hagan told his men to shift the cargo. but barrels and cases were hurtling this way and that, and one of them, driving the captain back against the wall, crushed his leg so feverely that he had to be carried to the lifeboat.
For a brief space there was no cap- tain. Then Paterson took command. At a critical moment bis strong per- sonality and calm assurance saved the crew from panic. Three boats filled with sailors from the British King were launched in safety, while the new commander stood in silence on‘the bridge. Lower and lower sank the ill starred ship, and as she heaved and took her final plunge Paterson blew a farewell blast upon his whistle to the fast departing crew. ‘

Indoor Golf. ‘
In the eighteenth century golf courts or alleys were roofed. over to protect them from sun and rain, wind and falling leaves, so that people might golf undisturbed in all weath- ers. These formed long wooden sheds, eighty feet long and twenty broad, covered with tiles. The floor, which consisted of a mixture of earth and lime, was made hard, smooth and perfectly level. At a quarter distance from each end stood a pin turned out of hard wood. For two feet of its | height it was thickly-coated wiih bell | metal, so as to give a sharp sound when struck by the large leather balls. Around the golf‘alleys were | little tables and stools for the on. | So one finds them in north) Holland still; The game in fact had | been reduced almost to parlor golf.— | London Express. :
What “He's a Brick” Means.
The common phrase “‘He’s a brick !”” is first found in’ Plutarch. The ex- | pression implies any form of admira- | tion. The Spartans, quick witted and noted for their repartee, were early | trained in both schools. They were | men of few words and fewer laws and embodied in short phrases~their ad-
curgus was not only a man of few | words. but quick action. On being asked, “Should Sparta be inclosed?” | an invasion of the enemy being ex- | pected during the time of war, he) replied, ‘A city is well fortified which | has a wall of men instead of brick.” |

In the Rose Garden.
By VIRGINIA BLAIR.
Copyrighted, 199. by Associated Literary Press
It wis on the third night of the new |
moon that Beverly Alden, musiig on his sermon in the darkness of his study, beheld from the window some- thing white moving in his garden
As the Rev. Beverly's garden was a vegetable garden, he thought fearfully of something sinfully trampling on his succulent salads, and he rose hastily. Standing just behind the window shut- ter, he decided, however, thut a horse would be shorter, a doz taller, and he did not believe in ghosts.
He went into the hall, took his hat from the rack and stepped softly over the threshold.
As his footsteps sounded on the gravel of the path the white object moved from the middle of the garden and flied. He heard the click of the gate and then silence.
“Hum!” mused the Rev. Beverly and bent over his lettuce bed. “A thief,” he said as he straightened up.
The next morning a fuller investiga- tion showed that there had been depre- dations of onions and radishes. But the minister said nothing to bis house- keeper. Common thieves did not come garbed in white, nor were they of slen- der outline and graceful.
The Rev. Beverly had noe unusual powers of penetration, but it had not taken him many moments to decide that the spoiler of his garden was a woman.
“But why”’—he debated the next | night as he finished his sermon—“why should a woman steal—a lady, I am sure, by the grace of her carriage— why should she steal my little onions
and my lettuce?”
But all the wisdom of the Scriptures did not answer his question. And after his sermon was finished he again turned out his light and sat in the darkness of his study.
And again, as he mused, he saw a patch of white at the end of the gar- den. Breathless he watched. and closer and closer came the ghostly figure un- | til it stood just beneath his window. Then a voice said, “I have come to pay you for the vegetables.”

“Of all things!” Aunt Anne ejacu- lated again.
Constance caught her breath quick- ly. “You mustn’t tell Beverly,” she said.
“Why not?”
“He won't marry.’ Constance said mysteriously, “if he knows it.”
So they were married quietly and went to live in the cottage, and Aunt Anne went home, and the big colonial house was closed, and the winter came, and the roses were wrapped in winding sheets of straw.
“You will miss the rose garden next summer,” said the parson as he and his wife walked up the snowy path. “I wonder who will live here then?”
“The new tenants,” said Constance, who, wrapped in a big red cloak, was leaning on her husband’s arm, “are
“Oh!” His usual readiness of speech had forsaken the clergyman. “Oh, I beg your pardon!”
“No, you needn’t beg it.” the voice. said again. “I picked some lettuce and things last night, and here is the money. It wasn’t a very conventional way to go to market, but we wanted a salad, and”—_
The Rev. Beverly, ring over the sill, caught the sparkle in her eyes as she made her half apology.
“You needed your salad late,” he said dryly.
“Ab”—her little laugh rippled out— “think of my predicament! Some peo- ple came from the city hungry, and
re was nothing in the house but e; You see, 1 am such a new house- keepér—we came only yesterday—and Susanne, my maid, forgets to tell me when things are out, and the shops are so far away—so, while she made
_an omelet I flew into your garden— and—and flew back and no one was the wiser.”
“I saw you,” the Rev. Beverly in- formed her, “and I thought you were a thief.”
“Ob!” There was a little gasp. “Tt did look like it, didn't it? But, you see, I have brought the money.” And the silver glittered on the sill as she spread it out before him.
“No,” the Rev, Beverly protested; “you are perfectly welcome to any- thing you care to take.”
“Oh, but you must’—there was a note of alarm in her voice—“because 1 should feel as if I had stolen if I am not allowed to pay.”
He was smiling down at her. “You can pay me by giving me a rose from your garden,” he said,
“Why don’t you have roses of your own?” she demanded,
He sighed. “I hardly dare allow myself the luxury. It is cheaper to raise one’s spnmeniee than to buy them, and a clergyman in a small town has to think of expenses.”
“I suppose,” doubtfully, “that your salary is not large?”
“No, but there are donations.” eyes twinkled.
“Such as roses?” up at him. The moonlight touched her hair with gold. The pulses of the Rev. Beverly began to beat.
“May I come over some time and walk with you in your rose garden?” he asked.
“Come now,” sponse.
He went, and it was the beginning of friendship.
“He is lovely,” Constance confided to her aunt, who had come up te her niece’s colonial mansion for the pur- poses of chaperonage. “And he's here in this little town because he feels that he is needed more than in a city eharge where he could get much more money.” :
“Constance,” her aunt warned, “don’t get romantic over a country parson.”
“He has the dearest little eottage.” Constance mused, “with a vegetable garden. He sends over tomatoes and parsley, and J put roses {p bis button- hole. It's very interesting,” she sighed.
“It may be tragic for’ him.”
“Why?

“Constance!” her.
“The house is mine. Warren wrote to say that he loved some one else. He married first and forfeited his right;--and-1. didn't-want to telisou-be cause you hated to have me rich, But don’t you think it will be nice—for— for Beverly junior to—to play in the rose garden, dearest?”

Love’s Language.
It was the morning of that fearsome, uncertain day on which the bonds were to be made fast, where a tiny path yet leads back, when each tries to peer into the future and wonders and doubts and hesitates.
They were alone, and she drew near bim, aware and watchful.
“Harold, dearest, in a few hours it will all be over. Can you grasp it all? But did you dream of me last night?”
“Yes, ownest. I saw you as a black, marvelous swan, drifting placidly all alone on a mirrored lake, with here and there a flat, floating leaf. And then I, a humble, joyous swan, too, began to float out to you. And my soul took fire, dearest, and I thrilled all over as you swung superbly around, and I wished to be a poet, with-a liv- ing, passionate pen, and I wished my- self an earth god and that a raging wind would swoop down upon you that I might seize you in my arms and defy the storm god. And I could | Smell sweet incense and hear the tinkling of innumerable bélis and could feel the delirium of a burning heart, and again I wished to be a poet that I

He paused, breathed deep and | poured out his soul, “Yes, dearest, I think you are it.”
And then’ she held up her vibrant lips, confident, satisfied.—Puck.
Soliloquy of the Engagement Ring. IT am considered a brilliant success
in literature, though many people ac- cuse me of plagarism, the popular crit- icism of my work being “that old, old story.”
It is a pity I am so bright, bowever, considering the conversations I have to listen to every evening. Last night he remarked sixty-five times, “1 love you sv, dear,” and sixty-five times she replied, “Do you, dear?”
He tells them all “I love you as man never loved before.” Isn't he clever to find so many new ways of doing some- thing so old?
Personally I ean see no difference in his methods myself.
They held on to me with both hands last evening, but I insisted upon cut- ting them.
The man and I can always get around a pretty girl.
The man owes all his happiness to me. Only through my influence is he able to hold her hands in bis and taste the sweetness of her lips, yet lready has he forgotten me ip his longing for a wedding ring.
Men are so ungrateful, but I will
bide my time. Methinks I will soon be avenged.

| there, bringing back tales of this city | that out-Nurnbergs Nurnberg. It is | easily reached, being on a little

branch line from the railway between Frankfort and Munich. | It is a place where the sightseer cannot go wrong, for everywhere is, fascination. There are both stateli- ness and beauty. There are towering houses with erjsscrossed fronts. | There’are deep dungeons under the Rathhaus, reached by stairways drip- ping with moisture, into which not a ray of light can enter, and in one of these dungeons some five centuries ago the men of Rothenburg placed the burgomaster who, more than any other in the long burgomasterial line, give to the city power and wealth | and prosperity. But they charged him with conspiring with the em-| peror and not only gave him no| light, but edged their animosity py | deliberately giving him no food. It | is in all a fiercely dramatic story, for) friends who were still faithful tun- | neled to the cell and madly cut| through its prodigious wall and reach- | ed the prisoner, but only to find him | dead. Nowadays they treat unpopular) burgomasters with more considera- | tion. Each. burgomaster is chosen | for three years, and at the end of | that time he is either elected for Life | | or gives place to a successor.

The Wise Goose.
You must not say “us silly as a| oose’”’ any more, for naturalists have | een studying this animal of late | years, and they have come to the| conclusion that she is the wisest old bird going.
She never quarrels without cause; | she sees danger befure any other | fowl; she hus more courage than the rooster; she is far braver than the gobbler ,and, if given a fair show, she can beat off the fox. | A flock of geese squatted around the | barnyard at night is a much greater protection than the watch-dog. They are light sleepers and will give the alarm the instaut they see a stranger moving about. | So in future say ‘‘as wise as a goose” and give her all credit—Mont- real Standard.
The Irreparable Loss. | “What has happened to me?’’ asked | | the patient when he had recovered | from the effects of the ether. | “You were in a trolley car acci- | dent,” said the nurse, “and it has) been found necessary to amputate your right hand.” | | He sank back on the pillow, sob- bing aloud. | “Cheer up,” said the nurse, patting him on the head; ‘‘you’ll soon learn | to get along all right with your lett | hand.” | “Oh, it wasn’t the loss of the hand itself that I was thinking of,’’ sighed | the victim. “But on the forefinger was a string that my wife tied around it to remind me to get something for her this morning, and now I’ll never be able to remember what it was.”

HEN the Bowsers sat down to breakfast the other morn- ing Mrs. Bowser found her- self without any appetite,
and, though she tried her best to con- | cenl the fact, | notice and said:
“No appetite, eh? Well, when ‘I |} henrad that you had been sloshing | around in the rain yesterday | made up my mind that you would pay for |

; “Of course you wouldn’t own up to
it. No appetite this morning. and you look us if you hadn't a week to live. I've talked and talked, but what good has it done?”
“IT have a little headache, but it will be gone by noon.”
“Gone nothing. I shall come home to find you im a raging fever and the doctor and a trained nurse here. Even
if you live through it you will make me $200 cost.”
“Any one is liable to have a head- ache now and then.”
“Headache! Headache! Women, don’t try to deceive yourself. This is

asked Mrs. Bowser to look at the
whites of his eyes and report: ; “You may pull through,” she said in doubtful tones,
“Then telephone to some other doc- tor—nurses from some hospital. Tell them to send two of them—three of ; them. Get two—it’s Bowser—Samuel Bowser. } saved, I don’t care if it costs a mil- | lion dollars!" | Mrs. Bowser didn’t telephone to any doctors and nurses. She simply pre- tended to, She was saving Mr Bow- | ser for the family doctor. She got him tea and toast, and though he pro- tested his weakness and want of ap- petite he nibbled and sipped. He felt better afterward, but he didn’t admit it. On the contrary, after fetching a ‘long drawn groan he whispered:
“Why did this come to me, Rowser=why come to me instead of another? Why am I singled out for a victim?”
“Becnuse you waded in slush and | water.”
“But I—-Il— those doctors understand that this is a | case of life or death and that they can
be sued for damages for delay.”
Then he sighed. Then he groaned. Then he _ propped and unpropped. |'Then he asked if typhoid patients | didn’t lose all the hair on their head,
and when Mrs, Bowser reminded him | that he hadn’t any to lose he was not a bit comforted.
While waiting for three doctors and | two nurses and other things Mr. Bow- | ser prepared for the worst:

He was petted and soothed and
fallen into a doze when he suddenly sat up and exclaimed:
“There’s the cook! about her!”
“Well, what of the cook?”
“I want to take her hand before I die and beg her pardon for finding fault with her cooking. Call her up right away.”
“But she’s gone out this evening for an hour or two,”

His words sounded heartless, but as the headache went off in a couple of hours Mrs. Bowser did not treasure them up. She rather expected he would telephone during the day, but. as he didn’t she stood on her dignity and did not call him up. At his bour
